A Man, a Plan, a Canal - Panama
Bruce J. Taub
About this work:
A Man, a Plan, a Canal - Panama is a series of four North/South Palindromes written for Max Lifchitz and his ensemble North/South Consonance. Like the title, each piece is a musical palindrome that has a chromatic ostinato as an accompaniment (keyboards and/or harps). Panama, of course, is the country on the isthmus that separates the North and South American continents.
